Author Topic: Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 12-28-2006 07:23 PM                     Slightly strange yet fantastic film from german director Tom Tykwer director of 'Run Lola Run'. ----- "Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born in the stench of eighteenth century Paris, develops a superior olfactory sense, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. His work, however, takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve scents in the search for the ultimate perfume." ---- It's just been released around the UK, not sure how well it will do, which is shame because it is a fantastic story. Some really nice set pieces. There is a sequence towards the end where the main charactor avoids exection becuse the onlooking crowd think he is an "angel" - one of the best sequences of film you will see this year. Plus great performance from Ben Whishaw as the lead and from Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman.  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 01-05-2007 02:38 PM                     Just for the record, excellent film.

I just watched it last night on DVD and I agree, it is a wonderful film. Michael, it was a good thing I saw the movie before I read your comments about it because you revealed the ending. Always put a "Spoiler" tag when you do that. -Claude  |  IP: Logged
